Figure 8. Model of Shp1 and Shp2 action in oligodendrocyte development.

Figure 8

The Shp1 and Shp2 tyrosine phosphatases may have opposing roles during oligodendrocyte development: Shp2 promotes maintenance of the proliferative OPC phenotype, while Shp1 promotes the differentiation of OPCs into oligodendrocytes. In addition, Shp2 may also act as a negative regulator of oligodendrocyte cell expansion.
